[@WildFlyProductions]

This project has been in the works for over a year now so we’re super stoked to finally share it! If you want to see what went into planning, shooting & editing this, check out the Behind the Scenes video on Will’s channel -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZyZhYGDebt5bsU

[@bryanverrone2551]

excellent video. Loved this one so much. what an adventure. I see you've moved to Utah - if you get a chance to fish southern utah - antimony, circleville and panguitch. The Sevier River, the Otter Creek and Panguitch creek and Resevoir are incredible. Would love to see a video trip on these areas... great work!

[@Smokyfilms57]

[@StephenSennett]

38 checking in: confirmed. Y’all have no clue how fast life will catch up. Jobs. Kids. Everything other than this. Man do I miss those days chasing cutties in northern Idaho and western Montana. Great video.

[@Sr89hot]

59 here and hanging on the 30. Hope to keep doing this stuff for 20 more years.

[@warrenwilliams363]

This 66 yr old agrees wholeheartedly

[@terrywallingford5979]

Amen Brothers! 53

[@StephenSennett]

@@Sr89hot never ceases to amaze me that the person looking back at me in the mirror / in my mind is always 25 or 30. you're only as old as you let yourself feel. keep after it!

[@kylebender3561]

I cannot get over how tremendous the film and editing skills are in these videos. From one fisherman to another, thank you for creating such beautiful masterpieces.

[@christopherwoodcock9330]

You should check out their alaska video. Its also amazing

[@GruncleW]

I just sat here and watched 55 minutes of Grown men riding bikes….. and I do not regret it at ALL. Awesome adventure guys!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Haha you’re amazing! We appreciate you a ton.

[@gregkrause4228]

You guys are living life to its fullest! Well done!!

[@Vorophobe]

Brent's positivity and chill really boosted the morale of the group, he was a great pick

[@coin_operated]

Your videos keep getting better and better. This is by far my favorite channel on KZbin. With the filming and music, you really convey the experience.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@MrHip76]

agreed

[@christopherbrahan1794]

Bikepacking is truly one of the best ways to get to new and remote fly fishing spots. Maine is a great state for this, with lots of gravel and logging roads you can fish so many different waterbodies each day. Love the video, keep the bikepacking adventures going.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Couldn't agree more! Would love to get up to Maine and BikePack.

[@mbassett2222]

That was no Rapid River ride in :) lol

[@AGuyNamedRicky]

When my parents first moved into their new home they got the most whoop ass TV they could afford. They wanted something spectacular to watch the christen the new TV. I showed them short bus diary episode 1. And you guys haven’t disappointed since

[@JA-hn3to]

This channel always has a way to find great adventures!

[@hectorcastellanosceja4614]

Finallyyy it’s time !!!!! Grab ya popcorn and settle down folks

[@micahfink7456]

The production value of this channel is insane. Feels like I'm watchin a documentary every upload. Keep at it!

[@77pe]

Man I can’t even imagine how much extra effort you put into filming all this. I mean you had to stop, place the camera, then ride the bike and go back to get the camera AND REPEAT! Huge respect! That video is so motivating especially during these cold winter days!

[@fletcherjohnston2226]

One hell of a misogi! Well done gentleman!

[@aldapal88]

I’ve never been more addicted to anything in my life. This channel just makes me want to gather up the boys, fish and camp every weekend.

[@timothyhester7260]

Excellent film. Keep living life. Thanks for taking us along.

[@SummitSeeker546]

You know it’s an epic adventure when you’re saying “I’m so done with this shit!” Frankly those are the moments that make the trip memorable!

[@rowyeah456]

The montage a little before 30:00, makes my heart sing, what great clips editing and music, many thanks

[@Silocky]

Biking and fishing, two of my favorite activities outside of winter sports. Ugh so jealous

[@mikehester4163]

My legs hurt watching this. And Brents hook sets are lightning!

[@alynnhiscox7303]

'Tis noble to suffer for your craft! Thanks for the incredible Idaho scenery.

[@adamsjm3]

I stumbled across this video. I’m glad I did. This is one of the best KZbin videos that I’ve ever watched. It’s amazing to showcase the beauty that North Idaho has to offer.

[@ibookje]

Epic adventure you guys will tell your grandchildren I'm a bit sad I'm too old for such an adventure. Thank for taking us along

[@danielwoolley9747]

Good to hear the painted horses in one of your videos! “All the pines in the west” is such an epic song.

[@jordanmontano6231]

24:40 area so relatable fellas-great work! I live in Colorado and live for this stuff so I respect the suffering and the grinding

[@trap1425]

Absolutely bonkers. Badass film. David goggins would be proud.

[@Coyhick28]

Do the miles, get the smiles. Good work gents

[@scottnock5241]

Great production guys!! As an old mountain biker I could never do that again so I appreciate it deeply!! You guys had helmets for a reason…. No flats crazy!!! You have memories you will never forget and a great video you can always watch.. killer!!! Thanks

[@masonstruckadventure9368]

My curiosity on flat tires was well executed towards the end. Epic run guys. Thanks for sharing

[@MrMarkAMartin]

Doing what you’re supposed to do, few are. Lucky guys, great vid Ty for sharing

[@troutowl]

Another awesome crew and adventure. It looked so fun racing down those beautiful mountains but brutal to climb, and as always great fish. Wild Fly never disappoints.

[@jmoast]

"The mild suffering, when you get to figure out your mind". Dude I love that.

[@Playgono]

Absolutely fantastic. Love nothing more than the Idaho backcountry, hard to beat the views and feeling.

[@mbassett2222]

Psyched up to watch!! Thanks in advance.... who cares about the Superbowl.. Wild Fly is on!! ;)

[@nicksportnfishn8045]

Ong man

[@PNW_Adventures1]

I forgot about the Super Bowl. Ufc 284 was last night

[@mbassett2222]

You guys are freakin BEASTS!! Omg...

[@DRUIZMULTIMEDIA]

Great storytelling, shots, angles, audio, scenery! I was in the Army for 10 years, I know what it means to push your body to its limits, but once it's over, ti feels like heaven. Accomplishing things you don't know you can get through builds character, fulfillment, pride and memories to last a lifetime! Awesome video amigos!

[@jdigioia1130]

That was epic fellas! Congrats on making it through with 0 flat tires. So much great footage, thanks for taking us along! Tight lines!! 🎣

[@bsargeant88]

Nice film, fellas. I was very thrilled to hear Scott Ballew bring it home.

[@mainHERO88]

You guys are doing god's work. Seriously this is the best fly fishing channel on KZbin. You guys show that fly fishing is not just about the fishing, but all the adventure that comes with it.

[@donotrobme9295]

Yes, God’s country, God’s mountains and all that’s good. Very enjoyable

[@theclordj12]

Soundtrack was on point with this one, and the shot of Will pushing the bike up the big peak looking back at him and the mountain range 👌 🙌

[@pescaesportiva]

29'10" what a fantastic image! Congratulations on the trip you have made! A deliberate life! Congratulations from Brazil!

[@wiscosonthewater9014]

I'm awe stuck. Great video doesn't even describe this. BEAUTIFUL. You do some awesome work.

[@rodneystock8595]

That mountain lake looked perfect. I love the big rocks in it. Brookies are the coolest looking trout. Fun!

[@chriscarter2322]

One of the best videos I’ve seen that really shows how tough the back country can be. As an elk hunter I can appreciate the grind that you guys showed in this video. Keep up the awesome work!

[@stevebeaulieu6352]

Love it, fellas. Great work!

[@FlyFishingisLife]

From wadding, biking, floating, on a school bus, sailing. You guys are killing it love every aspect and capturing the essence with such beautiful videography. Keep it up Wild Fly. Can’t wait to go out again.

[@corymckee4848]

Super cool adventure! Great job with the cinematography while riding and fishing- ton of work. Y’all definitely capitalized on the daylight for fishing, the night rides - wow! That hike a bike section looked gnarly. Can we have a live film where y’all drink beer and talk about the trip? Thanks for making amazing movie!

[@hartzejr]

That cast and take at 29:15 was so good. Thanks for making an awesome film to take me along on the adventure. So good!

[@ryan89870]

Love that it's unedited. You've really set the standard for fly fishing films.

[@collinvoitk4701]

I'm %100 Scotty on that trip. I love the seat in my raft. Thanks for the content!

[@sethfrings7207]

Awesome to see you fish my home river, love your content man. Come back soon!

[@NathanPaterson_2]

Awesome Film! A lot of new creative compositions, and I like the editing style, its not so much about the fish, but the journey and experience. This really inspires me.

[@brennenrusson]

I loved everything about this! Felt like I was right there with you on a much-needed, difficult adventure. Well done, and thanks for bringing us along. Tight lines!

[@jega157]

Very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your personal insights about our "cushy" lives. So true.

[@kentpeters6446]

Thank you for taking all of us on your incredible journey. Beautifully done. Thanks.

[@chrisperia3920]

Incredible trip. I love your cinematography! Nothing like it on KZbin! Thank you for sharing!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Scotty, the filmmaking skills reach a new level of sickness with every video. Well done, once again.

[@stephenlatimer1428]

wat a great adventure lads. but damn, how hectic as well. bring on more bike pack fishing. livin the adventure.

[@erfrench87]

Can't imagine the time it must take to put these high quality videos together. It really helps the viewer immerse themselves into the experience. That looked like an epic adventure!

[@joshseaborn5471]

Epic! You guys did the damn thing, Congrats on pushing through!

[@Maraboumadness]

As a 15 year old this is everymorning. Welcome to the pain. I live in Fl so I bring a blow up paddle, fly rod, flies, tools etc. It gets old quick. I need to learn from whoever edits this stuff, its top notch!

[@LethalEnforcer]

Truly an incredible piece. Thank you for sharing. I wish this would get more attention. Now I want to go bike packing in Idaho

[@itzfifa19]

Once again, I have no idea how you don’t have more subs. It’s coming Scottie, keep at it! Inspiring stuff

[@WildFlyProductions]

I appreciate that! Just stoked that people resonate with the films.

[@OG-Paul-Valentine]

Keep bringing the pain, we'll bring the views! Well done gentlemen!!!

[@peterservo4802]

Great video! 2 of my favorite things- bikes and flyfishing. Way to keep it real fellas.

[@sblivinintxs6297]

One of the best fly fishing films I've ever watched! Nice job guys.

[@marcpauly8699]

That’s crazy you didn’t have ant flats! What an adventure! Looking forward to listening to the podcast. Wanted to watch the film first. This was awesome! Thanks!

[@iancarpenter5488]

Another great film!

[@malakaihopoate9322]

This was one of my all time favorite videos I’ve ever watched on KZbin. Thanks for the wholesome content, the careful consideration of every shot, the editing, music, everything! Truly was a treat to watch this film! Thank you!!

[@sarahlashinsky]

Scottie, you really captured the bliss and agony of a bikepacking adventure. Congrats on your first one - to many more!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks Sarah! Also, super fun meeting you last weekend. Cheers!

[@biggusgibbus8144]

Trips like this are definitely in my rear view mirror, but it's great to see you guys living this life. I hope you keep it up for many, many years. Love your channel. Watch all your vids.

[@andronomisneltron3231]

This is my favorite video you've done. Of all your videos. This is amazing content.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Wow, thanks a million! Probably my favorite trip to date.

[@how_nate_rolls4603]

Really, really enjoyed this. Brilliant insight in the beginning about where we are now…void of grit and losing our adventurous spirit. Good to see you guys taking on that monster and beating it. Great video.

[@mattkeikkala726]

Scottie, whatever adventure you are on, the capturing and editing is magically fantastic! You have a God given gift and I encourage you to continue to keep it up. I cannot express how much I appreciate your work and videos, all of them! Thank you.

[@scottlowe3355]

Awesome and Inspiring! Looks like an amazing adventure and just a great movie.

[@SWATKINS88]

Fantastic video guys. Me and my little girl loved every second. She is only 3 and can't wait to get on a bike and 'go catch thoes fishies' Legends

Epic trip that you’ll remember forever! Really well documented.

[@thegoads5512]

What an awesome video and adventure! I’m way to old and out of shape for even thinking about such a trip but man do I regret that! Awesome, just awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinsnider1493]

Great video and great times! I am very envious of you guys! I would love to take a trip like that. I live in Northern California and have never been to Idaho but, I hope one day I’ll be able to visit or live there! Thanks for sharing this video with us all!

[@TCB77]

I can’t like this film hard enough to represent the feeling. Love it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kodygrant2896]

This was sick!! One of my favorites. It’s amazing that no one got a flat. I was wondering who was gonna be the first one hahaha

[@boise2Talay7886]

Lived and fished in Idaho for more than 30 years. Some of my most memorable experiences were hiking into alpine lakes. I never even considered using a mountain bike and the fact you guys were able to push and pull your way up those trails, utterly amazing. Really outstanding work on this video and thanks for the trip down memory lane for hiking trails in the Idaho wilderness!

[@camoverton6468]

Super cool and inspiring, you’re always filling my head with new ideas

[@JordanWoodwerx]

That was amazing gents! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Appreciate all the hard work, we’ll done!

[@CanadianSkylights]

Love it. Self propelled is the best way to see nature

[@chrisreid7742]

All-around awesome video. Great work!

[@COB506]

This is so sick. I’ve been a subscriber for a while due to my interest in fly fishing. Always enjoyed your content. I’ve started cycling/gravel biking a couple years ago and absolutely love it. And now you come out with this, a bike packing fly fishing trip… amazing. Added to bucket list.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Just found biking this last year and have been so stoked on it. Might even have some MTB/Fly Fish projects coming this summer...

[@COB506]

@@WildFlyProductionsI just finished watching this video. What an epic adventure that was! I felt the pain 😂 but also wished I would’ve been there.. enjoy and be safe out there 🚲🎣

[@norsamlida]

Thanks for sharing your epic trip. Fantastic. 😊

[@fullcircle7284]

We all need a bit of this! tight lines brothers!

[@jayward8956]

Awesome video boys. Just love the DIY trips on this channel. I’m blown away that no one broke a bike let alone had a flat tire on this trip!

[@loricollins3163]

That was awesome! Way to go guys! That was brutally beautiful and gorgeously grueling! The last lake was a gem. Ride on!

[@peterweikel7123]

I will be doing this exact activity in Alaska this summer. It's the perfect way to get in some incredible fishing and learning my new home state

[@kockarSO]

I could almost feel it, smell it, and taste it. It means it is a great video!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks brother!

[@fourlakes]

Cycling, fishing, camping. Three of my favorite activities all in one adventure. Awesome. But I gotta hand it to you, no cycling experience and you do this trip. Bold. Bold. Well done.

[@stevey4192]

Scottie, this was my favorite Wild Fly so far. Great camera work, outstanding editing and music, and a terrific adventure. But I will say this -- as one who suffers from acrophobia, those shots of you guys riding high speed down goat paths on ridge tops gave me the willies! No way, man!

[@LyingAbe30]

So happy you uploaded today! I just started fly fishing because your amazing films!

[@landenshupe]

Amazing film Scottie! Always inspired by your work and adventures. Can't wait to see the next one

[@mk7_dylan468]

What masterpiece of a film. I had to wait a few days to be able to watch it with the craziness of life going on but this really inspires me to do something similar. The suffering and hardship is so real but those fish are so rewarding. Amazing as always.

[@jpmac3883]

The camera work and footage on this was first class!! Well done!! Best thing ive watched all month

[@Thenomadicbrewer]

That is truly some epic cinematography throughout. Loved following the journey, cheers eh!

Thanks for sharing an adventure of a lifetime. The Wyoming winter doesn't seem so long now. Yeah, NO!
